While I powder my nose,
He will powder his gums.
And if I try to get close,
He is already gone,
Don't know where he's going,
Don't know where he's been.
But he is restless at night,
'Cause he has horrible dreams.

So we lay in the dark,
We've got nothing to say.
Just the beating of hearts,
Like two drums in the grey.
I don't know what we're doing,
I don't know what we've done.
But the fire is coming,
So I think we should run.

I think we should run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run

While I put on my shoes,
He will button his coat,
And we will step outside,
Checking might the coast is clear
On both sides,
'Cause we don't wanna be seen.
Oh, this is suicide...
But you can't see the ropes.

And I won't tell my mother.
It's better she don't know
And he won't tell his folks,
'Cause they're already ghosts.
And we'll just keep each other,
As safe as we can.
Until we reach the border,
Until we make our plan.

To run, run, run, run...
To run, run, run, run...
To run, run, run, run...

Will you stay with me my love
For another day?
'Cause I don't want to be alone,
When I'm in this state.
Will you stay with me my love?
'Til we're old and grey.
'Cause I don't wanna be alone.
When these bones decay...

Run, run, run, run...
Oh run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
And run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...

While I powder my nose,
He will powder his gums,
And if I try to get close,
He is already gone,
Don't know what we're doing,
Don't know what we've done.
But the fire is coming,
So I think we should run.
